Run Down
Apartments are very run down: cabinets falling apart, chipped p-lam countertops, constant plumbing issues. The windows are so dirty on the outside glass that you can barely see out; management states they are cleaned every year but it clearly hasn't occurred in a very long time. The windows are also very old and extremely difficult to open. If there was ever a fire or need for evacuation it would be impossible for kids to escape through the windows.
When we moved in the apartment was dirty and had several unattended maintenance issues that took months to resolve. Management is unhelpful and rude. The laundry rooms are disgusting and the machines are frequently broken.
The grounds are very nice, but landscaping uses leaf blowers early in the morning which cause air and noise pollution into open windows.

Great space for families as mine
Great for families with little kids as me. Many places to play for them. The apartments have a good space. I been in housings of other universities before and this one is my favorite one.

safe place
Basically, it is a safe place. The size of the assigned parking garage may vary and may be small, so larger vehicles may not be able to park there.

Price and convenience
The apartments are dated but you really can’t beat the price/ convenience / location. Especially if you have children

Family housing
UCLA family housing was very convenient for me moving to LA from out of state. I've stayed here for a second year since my apartment is nice, the location is reasonably convenient, and the price is decent for the area. My main complaints are that UCLA Housing is often unresponsive to resident concerns, particularly during the pandemic, and that there is a huge problem of package theft.

Review
Maintenance is prompt and kind, but noise levels are heavily dependent on whether you live near children. It is inexpensive rent for this area, but if you move a bit further afield it would be much easier to find a similar apartment at a lower price point. It is located immediate adjacent to a freeway, which is not so good. All in all a pretty average apartment complex. Rent should definitely be lower though, because this is student housing.

Shame on UCLA
The property is often filthy. There are rats (sometimes dead ones that are just left to rot for weeks) and cockroaches. The grass within the complex is often littered with dog feces (my partner and I both stepped in dog feces this week within the complex, on different occasions. The security is poor. Most packages that I have ordered to this address have been stolen. UCLA has done nothing to abate the rampant package theft, or the garage theft. Worst of all though is the location. UCLA should be ashamed of itself for putting housing of any kind directly on the 405 freeway, but especially family housing where children are raised, with a UCLA preschool less than 30 feet from the most heavily trafficked highway in California. The air quality is so poor that surfaces blacken when the windows are left open. Given the substantial evidence linking highway pollution to negative health outcomes, I am certain that those who live here for a significant period of time, especially growing children, will suffer from increased rates of illness, including cancer, in the future.

A great community for families with small children
This is a great gated community for families, especially those with small children. There are lots of playgrounds and outdoor space for them to play and socialize. The garden plots are also great if you can get a spot. The only downside are the communal laundry rooms where you have to pay for each use. There is also an ongoing issue with package theft and there appears to be no resolution.

Really well priced and quiet
Definitely better than anything else you'd get within 10 miles of UCLA for this price. Quiet and good amount of storage.
